The night was very late at this time. After dinner, everyone felt sleepy immediately. The more than ten hours of flight and continuous long journey were exhausting. The high temperature in Egypt had evaporated all the water in their bodies.
Now, coupled with the problem of adjusting to the time difference, Chen Zhi’s team needs a rest.
Each of them was assigned a bedroom. The space in this cellar is very large. There are many separate functional rooms. The walls are made of bulletproof metal. It is a high-level underground shelter. The bedroom has air conditioning and soft beds. Fatty
Wei entered and threw himself on the bed, finally finding heaven.
It was now more than two o'clock in the morning, and people were even more tired after being confused by the jet lag. Fat Wei quickly fell asleep, but Chen Zhi couldn't fall asleep again and again. Finally, he left the bedroom and walked towards the monitoring station. Ji Ying's
He has very keen hearing. After hearing the sound, he immediately came out of his room and followed Chen Zhi.
There are a few extreme thieves working the night shift at the surveillance station, and Mina and they are checking the surveillance video there.
This is the outside surveillance video of the time when Mina went out to ask for help. Even though the building has been burned down, the cameras hidden in the corners are still working. From the video, it can be seen that someone searched the house during this time.
, and they also found this cellar.
What you see in the video are some people wearing thick headscarves, only two eyes are exposed, and their faces cannot be seen clearly. They all hold rifles and sneak into the building at night.
The Egyptians knew the structure of the cellar very well, and even though the location of the cellar was very hidden, they still found it.
The basement level of this cellar is a false space that hides from others. Mina and the others designed it very cleverly, deliberately disguising the ground floor as an abandoned cellar. The earth layers are made very real, but below is
The real secret base.
After those people searched around here, they found no mechanism and did not raise any suspicion, so they left.
In a video freeze-frame, Mina noticed a man without a headscarf. The man was thirty-four years old and had one eye. The intact eye was painted with thick eyeliner. This man was holding a pistol and acting as a guide.
Leading the way for the people behind her, Mina recognized him at a glance. He was a native Egyptian who often appeared in this generation.
This man's name is Astor, nicknamed Cyclops, and he is a well-known gangster leader in this mixed area. He is mainly engaged in theft, prostitution and drug business. This generation of children who are beggars and thieves are all under his control.
, sometimes women and children are also trafficked, which makes them notorious in mixed areas.
But he usually wouldn't go to a private residence to make a case in person, unless there was a particularly big deal, so Mina was quite surprised when she saw him.
“It’s much easier to handle now~~”,
Mina looked at the one-eyed Egyptian on the screen and said,
"Now the target is clear. It is the local gangster who did it. Tomorrow we will bring a few more people to see Cyclops in the name of buying arms and ask him about the child. If he is willing to use money to solve this matter,
That’s best. If that doesn’t work, we’ll solve it by force~~~”
"How much profit can you make from selling a child?",
Chen Zhi stared at the group of Egyptians on the screen and said silently,
"Is it necessary to go to war in such a big way?"
"You don't understand these Egyptians...",
Mina said to Chen Zhi,
"These local gangsters basically believe in the Ancient God Religion. Their moral concepts are very extreme and they believe that all foreigners who enter their land are guilty robbers. Even if there is no reason, they may attack foreigners.
Moreover, the Chinese who have come to Egypt in recent years are very wealthy. In their impression, Asians are basically rich people, and they often store a lot of cash at home. In this place, murder and robbery at night are common, so this kind of thing
Not surprising."
"Maybe……",
Chen Zhi nodded slightly.
Mina then patted the Thieves on the shoulders and said, "Go back and rest! We will go meet him tomorrow...".
They had a good sleep in the underground base. Maybe it was because they were too tired. This sleep was very relaxing. In Fat Wei's words, he had never slept so comfortably.
After waking up the next day, Mina picked out a few miniature pistols. There were not many guns left in the base. Mina kept one for herself and gave one to Pang Wei, and then handed it to Ji Ying. Ji Ying shook her head and said no.
If needed, Mina hesitated and handed it to Chen Zhi.
Mina's original intention was to bring a few Extreme Thieves with her, but Chen Zhi refused. Now that the underground base is short of manpower, it is completely unnecessary to bring them with her.
So Mina, Chen Zhi, Pang Wei, and Ji Ying, under the cover of a few gangsters, carefully walked out of the cellar to the outside.
It was already daybreak, and people were buzzing outside again. The air was full of sand and dust. It was hot and exposed to the sun. The rotten smell spread in the air, making everyone very irritable.
This mixed area is indeed very chaotic. As soon as they entered the street, children begging with bowls came to pull their clothes. The natives looked sideways at the Asians, their eyes full of hostility. The women were wearing headscarves.
Wearing small glasses, she avoided them vigilantly, and the heavily made-up prostitute twisted her waist in front of them.
After walking forward for a while, the sun's heat began to completely shine down, and their clothes were soaked with sweat. Chen Zhi felt as if his skin was on fire, full of the smell of sweat.
After they followed Mina through the alley, they went down a set of stone stairs and entered an underground space, which was an underground city.
I don’t know what era this underground city is from. It is probably an underground building from ancient Egypt. There is no ventilation around it and it is very stuffy. There are two or three people standing in the dark corner, as if they are doing some business, and they can be seen everywhere.
The needle-eyed drug addict was lying motionless in the corner, not sure if he was dead or not.
Groups of men stood in the dark passage. They all wore turbans and carried long guns. They looked at Chen Zhi's team with colored eyes and whispered to each other.
Chen Zhi and the others followed Mina not far forward when they were immediately stopped by a man covering his head with a hood. The man first picked up the spear and then asked Mina in English,
"What are you doing here?"
Mina replied to him in fluent Arabic.
The other party shook his head, said a few words in a very unfriendly manner, and seemed to be chasing Chen Zhi and others away.
Mina communicated with him a few more words in Arabic. Finally, the man looked at Chen Zhi's team with hostile eyes, nodded slightly, then turned and walked inside.
At this time, Mina turned back to Chen Zhi and others and said,
"He just told me that they don't do business with foreigners and asked us to leave!
I told him that we were going to make a big deal with Cyclops, which would make him rich overnight. He then agreed to go in and deliver the message. When we went in and saw Cyclops later, we didn't want to tell anything about him.
, don’t say anything, let me negotiate with him..."
At this moment, the person who delivered the message came out. He waved to Mina and Chen Zhi and said something in English,
